I Am.. Proud
I am strong
so many obstacles have tried to get me to do wrong ,
yet I remained resilient
I know I can be brilliant
because I picked my head up through it all
don’t you want to hear, y’all?
like when my parents got their divorce,
and i began to cut my wrists with no remorse
until i learned i didn’t deserve the guilt i was feeling
all i needed to do was some healing
so i cried and i cried
and then I threw the pain aside
or when i was trying to be cool with my friends
and we all saw how my ankle decided to bend
now next thing i knew the doctors were inserting screws
god, i was hoping it was just a bruise!
so then my grades fell but i was home alone all of the time with no one to tell
and who would care?
my family asking how i was doing was rare
so i faced this obstacle on my own
and look at me now, so much I have grown
i'm getting ready to further my education
to have a dream career and get out of this financial frustration
my strength is what keeps me going
i have almost reached my goal, now my good vibes are showing
i am strong
and i am proud
for the woman i am, and the stronger woman i will become.
